"Let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely" (Rev. 22:17). Sometimes when I have been working out a problem through Christian Science, I have found a testimony in one of the periodicals that has helped me in my line of thought. In appreciation of this help and with a heart full of gratitude, I submit this testimony.
Before becoming interested in Christian Science I was a registered medical nurse and had been a member of an orthodox church for many years. But I had never believed that God sent illness or discordant conditions of any kind to anyone. Whenever I heard a person remark on someone's illness or misfortune and say, "It's God's will," I did not believe it. However, I never knew just why I did not.
One day I was asked to read Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. After I had read from it a few times, I began to see that I had been right in not believing that God sends misfortune. I obtained a copy of Science and Health, and later I began the daily reading of the Bible Lessons in the Christian Science Quarterly. Soon I started attending the Christian Science church services and placed my young son in the Sunday School.
